Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA) TLA is a financial entitlement that partially reimburses you for expenses while in temporary lodging (including transient facilities) and cost of meals. TLA is based primarily on permanent change of station (PCS) moves and non-availability of government-controlled quarters (other than transient quarters) or private rental housing. If Government transient facilities are available and not used, TLA lodging reimbursement is limited to the Government-quarters cost. Lodging expenses are not reimbursable when you stay with friends, relatives, coworkers, or associates. In these cases, only meals are reimbursed. You must report to the Housing Office within 5 duty days after the reporting date to the permanent duty station (PDS) to register for permanent housing. The Housing Office will inform you of the availability of government quarters and advise you on how to find private rental housing.

Upon arrival (reporting) at a USAFE PDS, service members will be authorized up to 60 days TLA to facilitate in-processing and determination of housing options. These days could be a combination of on and off base lodging which will be subject to availability. Contact your local TLF (Lodging Office) for confirmation. Under certain circumstances TLA may be extended for more than 60 days after arrival, but such extensions must be approved by the 3rd Air Force Commander. Paragraph 9160-I of the Joint Travel Regulation discusses when an extension might be justified. The Housing Office will provide instructions on how to request an extension beyond 60 days if necessary. When government-controlled quarters are available in your category and bedroom requirement, you will receive an offer for government-controlled quarters; no area preferences are taken into consideration. If you refuse to occupy available government-controlled quarters, TLA is terminated the first date Furnishings Management Section (FMS) can deliver loaner furnishings based on the date quarters are available.

If government-controlled quarters are not available in your category and bedroom requirement you must aggressively seek private rental housing to maintain your entitlement to TLA. If you elect to process a rental contract on a house, or purchase a house which is not ready for occupancy within 60 days your TLA entitlement will end at 60 days unless an extension is approved.

Aggressive search criteria must be documented in 10-day increments. For the first ten days, a minimum of two documented house visits to secure permanent off-base housing is required. Subsequent ten-day increments will require five documented house visits. Where available, you can elect to initiate a temporary short-term rental contract in order to commence OHA while searching for, or awaiting other permanent housing. The Housing Office maintains a list of short-term let options.

Please contact your Housing Office representative for more information on TLA requirements. Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) OHA is paid at your maximum rental allowance or the maximum rent of the property, whichever is lower. Rental payment over and above the amount of your OHA entitlement is not paid to you. Try and ensure you get value for your money and make allowances for possible future rent increases. It is not always advisable to maximize your OHA. If your situation or circumstances change, it must be reflected in your OHA.

Utility Allowance will be provided to you for the payment of electricity, heating and water. In almost all cases these payments are your responsibility when renting a home off-base. Legislation exists in the UK to ensure you are provided with the Energy Efficiency of a property before you make a choice to rent it. This is provided to you in the form of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Homes are rated from A to G, with A being the most efficient, G being the least.

Moving In Housing Allowance (MIHA) is a one time payment to assist you with additional costs you may incur on your move into off-base housing.

Your OHA will start and your TLA will stop on the effective date of your lease agreement. Ensure the time between when you sign your lease and the effective start date is sufficient to process your OHA allowance paperwork, and the funds you need will be on hand to pay to your landlord. You can apply for Advance Overseas Housing Allowance (AOHA) which is a loan up to three times your rent amount or maximum rent allowance. You will need to produce a signed lease in order to apply for AOHA and have signed approval from your commander. (Repayment is made over 12 months by automatic pay deduction. Alternatively you can defer repayment of your deposit advance until year 2 or the end of your tour). Military Family Housing Availability Military Family Housing (MFH) consists of one, two and three story units. East Anglian Regional Housing Office has 3 separate housing areas located both on base and in the surrounding communities. MFH areas range from on base up to 10 miles away from base. The waiting times are approximate and change on a monthly basis. Please check with the Housing Office for current waiting times.

Providing you submit an application for housing within 30 days of your arrival, your effective placement date on the waiting list will be the departure date from your losing installation. Please note that credit for a remote tour (UDR) must be claimed within 30 days of your arrival. The Local Area The area surrounding RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall is very rural and comprised of many small towns and villages. Ensure you carefully consider the type of roads you will have to drive when choosing a home. When looking at the drive to the home of your choice, consider the changing daylight hours and weather, depending on the season. Renting in the Community It is a command decision to involve the Housing Office in all community letting to ensure basic safety prior to approving Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA), referred to as our Adequacy Standards Program. This program has greatly increased the influence of the Housing Office to your benefit when renting homes off-base.

A current Adequacy Standards inspection must be conducted prior to you signing a lease or committing yourself in any financial way. Check to make sure this has been accomplished prior to signing a lease. Any deficiencies found at the property will prevent approval of OHA until remedy and further inspection. Listings of available off-base rental properties are available on Homes.Mil and on the computers in the Housing Office reception area at RAF Lakenheath. Photos are presented with the listing where possible. For a larger amount of available rentals, visit www.rightmove.co.uk. Rental Advice Always verify the available date, preferably before viewing the property, to ensure you will be able to occupy the property within your TLA Allowance. Please be aware that a change in an available date on a property is not justification for a Temporary Living Allowance (TLA) extension.

The Housing Office provides a standard lease for you to use when renting a home off-base and we encourage its use whenever possible. If you are presented with another lease, ensure you take the time to review it properly and ask for clarification if needed. Being familiar with your lease will enable you to fully appreciate your rights and obligations when renting your home. The military clause in the standard housing contract allows you to give 30 days notice to terminate a lease for a military reason (i.e., take up an offer of MFH or PCS, etc.).

If another lease is signed you should ensure that at a minimum it contains a military clause identical or similar to that contained in the Housing Office lease. Please have the Housing Office review your military clause before signing your lease.

It is common practice for rental agents in the UK to charge a tenant rental fees for setting up the tenancy. Beware, as agent fees are not reimbursable. Ask up front if there are fees and if so what they will be. Many landlords and agents do not make administration charges in the case of USAF personnel.

Although your concern at present is finding a home, you may need to move again in the near or distant future. Notice to end your tenancy must always be in writing and in accordance with how your lease states you should serve notice. If you have any questions, please ask the housing office in advance. Security deposits are nearly always required before possession of the property will be given, normally equivalent to at least one months rent. Security deposits may be used by the landlord for any outstanding obligations when the tenancy comes to an end.

To minimize disputes regarding the condition of your property and your security deposit, you should ensure a comprehensive condition inventory of the property is completed at the beginning of the tenancy and signed by both parties. The Housing Office provides an example inventory for your use. The condition of all aspects relating to the property should be referred to on the condition inventory otherwise it is simply a matter of your word against the landlord’s at the end of the tenancy. Any landlord/agent taking a deposit from you in connection with a rental contract, are required to register your deposit in one of the UK government approved schemes. UK law expects tenants to police landlord compliance with this legislation. If you have not received instructions from your landlord/agent as to where your deposit is registered within 30 days, query this with your landlord or contact the Housing Office. Purchasing in the Community If you choose to purchase a home, TLA reimbursement will be limited to 60 days. This may be insufficient to cover you for the time period needed to complete the purchase. In such a case it will be necessary to find a short term rental in the meantime. Attempt to do as much research as possible through local agents and financial brokers. The UK home buying market is very competitive. Furnishings Management Section (FMS) Temporary loaner furniture is available from FMS for off-base and on-base residents for up to 90 days, prior to the delivery of your household goods. A temporary loaner kit consists of beds, dressers, sofas, tables and chairs. Requests should be delivered within five to seven duty days. Please ensure you process your request at least ten days prior to the effective date of your move, in order to allow time for delivery.

Duration of tour (DOT) items are available for off-base residents. Items include wardrobes, washer/dryer, stove, refrigerator, and transformers WHERE NOT PROVIDED BY THE LANDLORD. A landlord/ tenant statement must be provided to FMS with any application for appliances. Stipulate available space and relevant connections available.

It is important that you report any damages to your property on delivery prior to signing for receipt of item on AF Form 228. Any damage to the landlord’s property will be taken from your security deposit so recording of damages is essential to ensure you can utilize the reimbursement process. Please contact the FMS customer service desk for more detailed information.

CERTIFICATE OF UNDERSTANDING

I __________________________________certify that I have been advised by the installation commander or designee of the commuting areas for transportation to schools serving the RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell communities. I understand that school bus transportation is provided only within the commuting area. I acknowledge that if I obtain family housing outside this area, I must transport my dependent student(s) between my residence and the school or an existing school bus stop with the commuting area, at my expense.

I acknowledge receipt of the Resident Security Checklist and understand that I am responsible for completing the form if I rent/purchase a property in the local community. I confirm that I will submit the form to the Housing Office and the ATO for any property I rent/purchase in the local community during my tour.

I also acknowledge, per the Joint Travel Regulation, para. 10020, “The OHA program is designed to help offset housing expenses for a member and/or dependent at the assigned overseas location. The reported housing must be the actual residence that the member occupies and from which the member commutes to and from work on a daily basis. . . . OHA is not intended, and must not be allowed to be used, for the personal enrichment of a member by including costs incurred for procuring/adapting a residence to accommodate renters or for vacation purposes. OHA is intended to assist in paying for private sector leased/owned housing for a member and/or a member’s dependent. Disciplinary action addressed in par. 1035 applies when housing allowances are used for other than the purpose intended” (e.g. gardening, window cleaning, housekeeping, laundry or ANY other extra personal service besides rent).
